Nitrogen (N) is an essential element required for the growth and development of all plants.
On a global scale, N is agriculture's most widely used fertilizer nutrient. Studies have shown …

Urea is the most widely used nitrogen (N) fertilizer, with a projected increase in annual
demand of 1.5% in the coming years. After its application to soil, urea undergoes hydrolysis …

Inhibitors are widely considered an efficient tool for reducing nitrogen (N) loss and improving
N use efficiency, but their effectiveness is highly variable across agroecosystems. In this …

Losses of nitrogen from the soil/plant system not only reduce soil fertility and plant yield but
can also create adverse impacts on the environment. Ammonia emissions into the …

It is becoming a tendency for multispecies plantations to be promoted worldwide to enhance
carbon sequestration and provide better ecosystem services. Soil physicochemical …

Globally, substantial quantities of organic amendments (OAs) such as plant residues (3.8×
10 9 Mg/yr), biosolids (10× 10 7 Mg/yr), and animal manures (7× 10 9 Mg/yr) are produced …

In this review we explore the biotic transformations of nitrogenous compounds that occur
during denitrification, and the factors that influence denitrifier populations and enzyme …

Ruminants excrete as much as 70–95% of the nitrogen (N) they consume. The urine patch is
the conduit through which much of this N is recycled in grazed pasture systems. This chapter …

Nitrification inhibitors show promise in decreasing nitrous oxide (N2O) emission from
agricultural systems worldwide, but they may be much less effective than previously thought …

Urease inhibitor (UI) and nitrification inhibitor (NI) have the potential to improve N-use
efficiency of applied urea and minimize N losses via gaseous emissions of ammonia (NH3) …
